Hill Country Ranch
The Hill Country Ranch is a custom home currently being designed in Brenham, Texas, in collaboration with Tipler. The clients’ vision for the home is to create an environment reminiscent of a Tuscan vineyard, with materials and craftsmanship that harken back to the days when a craftsman was an artist.
The home will include ample outdoor living space and views across the rolling hillsides. Each room will be unique, with features such as rustic wood beams, painted shiplap, leather coffered ceilings, and solid stone interior walls making the home and every space in it tailored to the homeowners’ taste.
Metro Village
Metro Village is a multi-family community located in the city of Bellaire on the outskirts of Houston. The community is a condo regime featuring a combination of two-story and three-story single family homes situated on a looped drive. The goal from the outset was to create a high-density entry-level community with that welcomes and nurtures its inhabitants. At the center of the community is a park space with landscaping and walkway features designed by LANDology, a landscape architecture firm located in The Woodlands, Texas, providing residents with easy access to outdoor recreational opportunities not commonly found in low-cost communities. In addition to being centered around a green space, we also designed the site layout with lots that are wider than they are deep, thus providing an opportunity to inject character into the facades. The homes themselves meld mid-century modern forms with a prairie modern use of materials, all while staying within the developers target budget, and the natural rise and fall of the units positioned side by side creates a harmonious rhythm that coincides with the natural elements found within the park at its core. Construction on the site work began in early June, and vertical construction is expected to begin in early 2023. Metro Village is the latest innovative collaboration with Luminous Development Group, a company focused on making a lasting, positive impact on the built environment.

Lazy Springs
The Lazy Springs Remodel was an exciting opportunity to take an old, cramped, and dilapidated house in Lazy Springs, and transform it into a spacious, comfortable, and inviting home. This was a Design/Build collaboration between Moment Architects and Luminous Homes. The scope included removing two load-bearing walls that were previously separating the kitchen, living room, and dining room, and installing flush beams in the ceiling to create a seamless open floor plan providing increased natural light and better flow through the house. We also demolished the existing single bathroom, and built two new bathrooms in it’s place; one serving the master suite and another serving the secondary bedrooms. We replaced all the existing single-pane windows with new energy-efficient double-pane windows, replaced the existing termite-infested wood floors with all new Rigid Core flooring in the living areas, Porcelain tile in the bathrooms, and plush carpet in the bedrooms. We gutted the original kitchen and added a new island, new modern cabinetry, new appliances, and beautiful quartz counter tops. We installed all new Kohler plumbing fixtures throughout the house, as well as all new LED lighting. We also completely replaced the existing HVAC system, ran all new PEX plumbing, completely rewired the house to meet current electrical codes, and installed a new tankless gas water heater. The exterior and interior both received new coats of paint, and we salvaged the natural cedar wainscot in the dining room and painted it a clean, crisp white. There was an existing guest house behind the main house that originally included two bedrooms, a bathroom, a tight and oddly shaped living room, and a laundry room. We gutted the guest house and converted it into a Mother-In-Law Suite, complete with a master bedroom, master bathroom, master closet, laundry room, kitchenette, breakfast area, and living room.
